After just over a month since the Beta version was launched, today was the day chosen by the company to start the official launch of the OTA update with Android 8.0 Oreo for the Huawei P10, as well as for the Huawei P10 Plus.

The software improvement is accompanied by the EMUI 8.0 version, a revision of the custom graphics interface that adapts to the latest technologies implemented by the company in its most sophisticated models, the Huawei Mate 10.

The only drawback for Europeans is that the release of Android 8.0 for the Huawei P10 is that, for now, the update has been made available to Chinese users, specifically for Huawei P10 and P10 Plus models under the VTR references -AL00, VTR-TL00, VKY-AL00, and VKY-TL00.

The OTA for the European versions VTR-L09 and VTR-L29 will not be long in reaching the Old Continent and it is speculated that the stable version of Android 8.0 will be available in the coming weeks.

Improvements based on artificial intelligence

And what’s new in the Huawei P10 with Android 8.0 Oreo and EMUI 8.0? In addition to the own improvements propelled by Google, Huawei has provided the firmware B321 adapted for its models of characteristics of artificial intelligence.
